This work is part of a larger study of the latest Devonian and Early Carboniferous rocks exposed on the northern margin of the basin. A total of 57 form species referable to 21 form genera and an additional two multi-element taxa are described: two multi-element species, lcriodus platys and Pelekysgnathus australis, and one form species, Spathognathodus canningensis, are new and one form species, Hibbardella helmsi, has a new name. One multi-element taxon and fourteen form species are left in open nomenclature. Six assemblage zones are recognised although the endemic nature of the fauna and differing ranges of form species from those recorded elsewhere preclude accurate correlation with other sequences in Australia and overseas. However, a broad correlation is presented. The two lowest assemblage zones are latest Devonian and are present in the Gumhole Formation and the lowermost part of the Yellow Drum Sandstone. The upper four assemblage zones are Early Carboniferous (Tournaisian) and are present in the remainder of the Yellow Drum Sandstone and the Laurel Formation.Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)ownerCommonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)02 6249 996602 6249 9960Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh DrGPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.aucustodianasNeededGA PublicationBulletinpalaeontologythemeEarth SciencesAustralian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC)2008-03-31+11:00publicationAustralian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/1297.0Main%20Features32008?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=1297.0&issue=2008&num=&view=owner9780642483584otherRestrictionslicenselicenseotherRestrictionsCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licenceunclassifiedengutf8geoscientificInformation124.5127.5-19.0-17.0pdfUnknownGeoscience Australia+61 2 6249 9966+61 2 6249 9960GPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.audistributoronLinehttp://www.ga.gov.au/corporate_data/42/Bull_190.pdfWWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--downloadBull_190.pdfDownload the file (pdf) [19 MB]downloaddatasetUnknownunclassified
